ABOUT
BILL WILSON’S
“STAND UP!”

They say you have your whole life to make your first album. Well…after 76 years, Bill Wilson is finally dropping his debut. And it is worth the wait!

Bill was born in Charleston, SC in 1941 – on Hanover St., between Cooper St. and Lee St. He is one of this city’s musical torchbearers – still playing and singing every week, well into the afterparty hours. His energy and fearlessness on stage is unparalleled, and fellow musicians and fans half-a-century younger watch in awe as he packs up his horn and heads on to the next show.

Recorded in Charleston, SC at Rialto Row and Coast Records in December, 2017 and January, 2018.

Meet The Band

Charleston’s best in breed, right here on one album. Bill Wilson’s debut is an instant classic…but still an adventurous listen. Lean forward to hear some great playing or lean back and let it wash over you. These geniuses have created an album that perfectly showcases Bill’s spirit.

We should call Bill “Hot Sauce,” because everything is a little better with him on it.
